how about mentioning that s**t was goaltending?

Anthony Morrow = basketball god

Just got back from the game.

I liked Curry more in person than I have on TV, but it did confirm some concerns. He's probably already the most intelligent Warrior, and he's also your best PG in terms of getting open looks for teammates. Unfortunately, neither is saying all that much. When he was in the game, I just watched him instead of the ball (in most instances), and there wasn't one time where he made the wrong basketball decision. That is very impressive. He also played hard every moment he was out there. Smarts + hustle is a damn good thing. Solid fundamentals as well.

However, his physical limitations are still very evident. When Baron decided to make Curry his girlfriend, he did so on both ends of the court. He was able to play Curry very tightly, and Curry couldn't blow by him either. It wasn't until Curry was guarded by Anthony Roberson or Rasual Butler that he was able to get a little more breathing room and thrived a little more. While Baron can be a very good defender when he feels like it, it's a concern because Curry struggled with a similar type of player in Shannon Brown. Curry's fundamentals are good, but he's going to have a hard time with players who are both bigger and faster than he is.

If only we could somehow combine Monta Ellis' physical gifts with Stephen Curry.

Morrow playing with Steve Nash would average 20 points easily.

The guy was obviously draining everything in sight and then the Dubs dribble down and have possessions where he's not even getting a single look, oy.

He's already at a Ray Allen level of shooting. Seriously. All he needs is the slightest bit of daylight, and he's also able to hit step backs and floaters, which is what distinguishes guys like him and Allen from guys like Jason Kapono. Unbelievably wet jumper.

Here's a three way trade idea I came up with. This is a pretty insane trade but the salaries work and everything.


Golden State
In: Jermaine O'Neal (released), Michael Beasley, Quentin Richardson (released)
Out: Monta Ellis, Stephen Jackson, Corey Maggette, Speedy Claxton

The Warriors would then immediately cut Jermaine O'Neal, who would resign with Miami. The Warriors hang on to Quentin Richardson as a trade chip at the deadline. The Warriors dump three large contracts and rebuild around Anthony Randolph, Andris Biedrins, Stephen Curry, Michael Beasley, Anthony Morrow, Kelenna Azubuike, Brandan Wright. They have the capspace to sign an impact free agent in the future, but will probably end up overpaying another scrub like Maggette.

PG Stephen Curry / CJ Watson / Acie Law
SG Anthony Morrow / Kelenna Azubuike
SF Michael Beasley
PF Anthony Randolph / Brandan Wright / Mikki Moore
C Andris Biedrins / Ronny Turiaf


Utah
In: Monta Ellis
Out: Carlos Boozer

PG Deron
SG Monta
SF Brewer/AK
PF Millsap
C Okur


Miami
In: Carlos Boozer, Stephen Jackson, Corey Maggette, Speedy Claxton
Out: Jermaine O'Neal, Michael Beasley, Quentin Richardson

PG Chalmers
SG Wade
SF Jackson/Maggette
PF Boozer
C Jermaine O'Neal (resigns after the Warriors release him)

Miami builds a team that can contend in the East, so that they can convince Dwayne Wade to stay in the off-season.

the only thing is that there is alot of contract coming in for the heat. long term too. they would need to resign boozer as well as wade and wade is going to get the max. thats the only thing hindering this. i feel that the heat want to get rid of cool ass beas and monta would do wonders in utah, just would need to learn to play some defense.
